Every day, a small ant arrives at work very early and start work immediately • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
She produces a lot and she was happy • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
The Chief, a lion, was surprised to see that the ant was working without supervision • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce even more if she had a supervisor?! • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
So he recruited a cockroach who had extensive experience as a supervisor and who was famous for writing excellent reports • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
The cockroach’s first decision was to set up a clocking in attendance system • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
He also needed a secretary to help him write and type his reports and … • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
... he recruited a spider, who managed the archives and monitored all phone calls www.mycutegraphics.com
The lion was delighted with the cockroach's reports and asked him to produce graphs to describe production rates and to analyze trends, so that he could use them for presentations at Board‘s meetings • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and... • http://bestclipartblog.com/26-computer-clip-art.html
... recruited a fly to manage the IT department http://bestclipartblog.com/26-computer-clip-art.html
The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork and meetings which used up most of her time…! http://www.clipartof.com/gallery/clipart/sad_18.html
The lion came to the conclusion that it was high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the ant worked • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
The position was given to the cicada, whose first decision was to buy a carpet and an ergonomic chair for his office http://www.clipartof.com/portfolio/derocz/illustration/flying-common-wasp-vespula-vulgaris-38714.html
The new person in charge, the cicada, also needed a computer and a personal assistant, who he brought from his previous department, to help him prepare a Work and Budget Control Strategic Optimization Plan … http://bestclipartblog.com/26-computer-clip-art.html
The Department where the ant works is now a sad place, where nobody laughs anymore and everybody has become upset... http://www.clipartof.com/gallery/clipart/sad_18.html
It was at that time that the cicadaconvinced the boss, the lion, of theabsolute necessity to start a climatic study of the environment • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
Having reviewed the charges for running the ant’s department, the lion found out that the production was much less than before • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
So he recruited the owl, aprestigious and renownedconsultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions http://bestclipartblog.com/20-owl-clipart.html/owl-clipart-18
The owl spent three months in thedepartment and came up with anenormous report, in severalvolumes, that concluded: “The department is overstaffed!!!” • http://bestclipartblog.com/20-owl-clipart.html/owl-clipart-18
Guess who the lion fires first? • http://www.storieslearningkids.com/2012/02/blog-post.html
The ant, of course, because she “showed lack of motivation and had a negative attitude” http://www.slideshare.net/venkatreddyhr/the-ant-1638078
